1 and 2 

The Scheduled Public Authority (SPA) does not maintain a list of all detached Government of Jersey buildings, therefore the requested information is not held and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies. 

It should be noted that only detached residential properties are recorded on the public property database maintained by the SPA, however, none fall under all of the criteria referenced in question 1.

Article applied
